Picking Out Replacement Landing Gear for 2006 Cruiser Fifth Wheel Trailer

Question:

I got your email. Those measurements are incorrect for my model. The ones I’m taking off are as follows. Distance between mounting brackets is 11 inches The tube is 151/2 inches The distances between the lips that support the wet is 15 1/4 inches The distance from the bottom of lower lip to the bottom of the upper lip is 16 3/8 inches. Now can you help me. Thanks.

In order to pick out a direct replacement for the landing gear on your trailer we would need to know the distance between the mounting brackets since the jack info on your 2006 Cruiser fifth wheel trailer isn't readily available. Otherwise you could just have the brackets removed from your trailer by a qualified welder and then install the brackets that come with the Bulldog Tandem Landing Gear Set # BD500162. Either way this landing gear set would work well for you, you just might have to have the brackets of your trailer removed and then install the brackets of the # BD500162.

I attached a picture that shows the dimensions that this landing gear set would fit with.

The jacks would be the correct replacement for Lippert, Venture, and Atwood landing gear, as well as those from a few other manufacturers. The sure way to tell is that if the distance between the mounting brackets (underside of top bracket to top of lower bracket as shown in the diagram) is 17-1/2 inches. If this is the case, the landing gear should fit just fine.

If your frame clamps are instead 20-1/4 inches the Ultra Fab part # UF17-943010 would be a direct replacement.

I'd have to see pictures of the fridge vent or get some dimensions to help pick out the replacement cover.

Since we don't have a landing gear set that matches the dimensions you listed you'll still be able to install the Bulldog landing gear set. You'll just have to have the old brackets removed and have the new ones that come with the Bulldog set you mentioned welded in place of them in the correct location. The dimensions you have now aren't a standard set of dimensions for RV landing gear so you won't be able to find an exact match elsewhere.
